A RARE COMPLICATION OF ACUTE COLECISTITIS

Laparoscopic procedures are often preferred to open surgery due to their many advantages, theymay sometimes cause rare complications like intraabdominal, pelvic, and abdominal wall abscesses.We report a case of a 45-year-old woman who presented on multiple occasions to the hospital withsymptoms suggesting an infection involving the epigastric area. Following an exploratoryprocedure it was concluded that unretrieved gallstones from a previous laparoscopiccholecystectomy caused an abdominal wall abscess. This case shows that when establishing adiagnosis, the physician should consider that laparoscopic procedures can cause rarecomplications even after a long period of time.
